I had my transmission rebuilt by Jacks this past fall. I finally got around to installing it this past weekend. Got everything in, clutch bled, etc. and couldn’t get 5th or reverse. Ah! Shifter adjustment. Re-adjusted the cable ends. No luck /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif.
I took the shifter cables off on the trans side and actuated the levers directly by hand. 1st to 4th are no problem. The select lever will go into the 5th/Rev position, but the shift lever won’t budge to select either gear.
After almost a year of being parked, I had to take my new engine’s first break in drive with no 5th or reverse /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif. Any ideas on what to check without pulling the tranny back off. I’d like to rule out all possibilities before returning the car to JSB’ing status.
